North Carolina is feeling the effects of severe weather on Tuesday❄️

Several North Carolina counties experienced snow flurries overnight.

WRAL meteorologists were tracking some severe weather across our southwest counties early Tuesday morning. Bruce A. sent us a photo of the gathering at Southern Pines around 3:30 am

Some saw a light coating of snow on their yards, driveways and cars. Parts of Chatham County had 0.1 to 0.3 inches, while Whispering Pines had 0.2 inches. Asheboro had the highest total for central North Carolina at 1.2 inches.

Parts of central North Carolina received a light covering of snow in the early morning hours of December 3, 2024.

It’s been more than 1,000 days since we’ve seen snow in the Triangle. The last time we saw measurable snow at RDU was in January 2022. The last significant snow we saw in December was in 2018, when RDU reached 8.9 inches on December 9th.

There were reports of multiple accidents in Greensboro and Winston-Salem Tuesday morning, as well as reports of ice on bridges. You can track road conditions across North Carolina at DriveNC.gov.

There were some patchy, slippery patches in parts of Moore, Lee, Hoke and Chatham counties.

“After assessing road and bridge conditions this morning, we have determined that it is unsafe for buses to begin their morning runs at this time,” the district said on its website.
